Well it appears Iran will NOT get the S-300 missiles after all. As well as many other weapon systems. Which includes a ban on sales of battle tanks,
armored vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, warplanes, military helicopters, and ships oh my

The article goes on to say...

"This continues to demonstrate how Russia and the United States are cooperating closely on behalf of our mutual interests, and global
security,"

President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered a ban on the supply of Russian advanced air defence missile systems to Iran. Moscow
shelved the plan saying the missiles fall under the latest UN sanctions on Tehran.

Such a big fail in Western foreign policy, Iran is already selling weapons to anti-USA South American nations through Syria, and sharing "know hows"
also. See the link for more info..

I'll wait until Tehran makes an official announcement on the topic.
You may have missed all the other stuff they WONT be getting from Russia.

Once again, the point is that, it is better to design and create it yourself, then let someone else do it for you, that is lazy, that is why the Arabs
haven't advanced, while you see Iran create its first drone

while Iranians universities are pact with students learning different sciences.

Even Nuclear, they have done excessive research on it, and advance.

The Arabs will be left behind again, they will once again become the third world, because they have allowed their resources to be traded for weapons,
rather than advancing themselves.

What do you mean "Iran IS NOT our enemy"? Have you got a mouse in your pocket? Iran sure as hell IS my enemy, and has been for around
30 years or so.

Tell you what, I'll let you pick your own enemies, and I'll pick mine. Iran is and will remain MY enemy until they ditch the mad mullah marauders.
Until then, I don't even want to talk, and would be just as happy chucking explosives at them until they glow.

I don't give a tinker's damn what they do in their own country, within the confines of their own borders, these days, but nobody needs to hold their
breath, waiting on me to kiss and make up with the mullahs.

Is the US welcoming Russia's ban on missile systems to Iran ATS news worthy?

Really?

Here's a clue: the world didn't start with Israel, and it doesn't revolve around Israel. The sun does not rise from Israels head, or set in Israel's
behind. Israel has nary a thing to do with my animosity towards Iran.

Israel isn't even on the table here. Iran, and Russian weapons sales (or really the lack thereof) is what's on the table. Why do folks always have to
drag a piddlin' little country like Israel into the mess anyhow? Can't I be thoroughly pissed off at someone without Israel being forced into the
conversation?

Iran is a enemy of our political system. It's our politicians and policy makers that hate Iran. We are just ponds who have to fight their battles.

Very soon a few hundred thousand innocent Americans have to arm up because their leaders can't get along with other people. The same goes for the
Iranian people, they have to fight their leaders battles as well.

Once again, the point is that, it is better to design and create it yourself, then let someone else do it for you, that is lazy, that is why the Arabs
haven't advanced, while you see Iran create its first drone

while Iranians universities are pact with students learning different

The ability to produce your own UAVs isn't that special, Serbia, Malaysia, Bulgaria etc have all done this but it doesn't mean that it is all
cutting-edge stuff. That wasn't Iran's first drone though and Iranian tech is actually pretty good, in the long term yes it's much better to
produce your own stuff but I believe Iran needs that equipment in the short term.

Pre-emtive war, an invention of Hitler made popular by israeli politics.

edit on 23-9-2010 by Jeanius because: (no reason given)

Preemtive war is actually are very sound policy in some cases. Hitler called it preemtive for other reasons...it wasnt preemtive just a power grab in
his case. In Hitlers case the "blitz" would be a better word for it. We can see now in hind sight that it would have been better for France and
Poland to preempt Germany.

Yup, Iran is our enemy. Anyone expounding the destruction of a legitimate state and calling for the punishment any state that supports the first is
in fact an enemy of the global village. Yup, Iran is doing that on a regular bases. It actually called for the annihilation of Israel. But I guess
that's ok because Israel is bad right? Not a good enough reason in my books.

I know, your going to say that the US has been doing the same thing, but you'd be wrong. In Irak they have left after ousting a dictator who was
killing (gassing) his own people (I've seen the proof). In Afghanistan they have every intention of leaving once the Al-Qa'ida supporters in the
Taliban are rousted from the land. None of the NATO countries there have any designs on staying and usurping an elected Afghan government after their
job is done.
